Details and Technology

The battery master switch breaks the ground connection between the battery and the body and switches
off all electrical circuits. It is situated in the driver’s footwell, to the right of the accelerator pedal. The
battery master switch is activated by disconnecting the ground bolt connector.

NOTE: It must be ensured that the battery master switch is only disconnected when the vehicle key
in the ignition lock position, otherwise there is a risk of damaging other components in the
electrical system.

Benefits and Arguments

• Prevents uncontrolled discharging of the battery
• Work on the electrical system can be carried out more quickly
The battery master switch prevents uncontrolled discharging of the battery. It is recommended for
vehicles which are likely to be immobile for extended periods. The battery master switch also allows
work on the electrical system to be carried out more quickly, since it is not necessary to disconnect the
battery pole.
